Well done Nick, you’ve conquered the field of psephology on your first day. What’s next?
Polls people sign up for so already have an interest (either way).
But how do you know? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I've never even seen an advert so what papers is it in? Who from the streets of Wood End (no offence to residents on here, just an example) do you think is reading it and registering?This has never been true. It wasn’t true of shy Tories either. Anecdotally I’ve never known a reform voter not make it very clear. Second only to vegans in that respect.
They have a full cross section of society. That’s literally how polling works. You recruit a representative sample of the population you are studying. They go out via different means (YouGov) including putting ads in papers and have specific groups of people in specific demographics then where they can’t find enough weight them higher to compensate.

76% of people think MP's are overpaid. FFS!!!

Same for me. I've never talked about politics down the pub. It's just not one of those things that happens. I couldn't tell you if or who they vote for.But how do you know?

I could easily be persuaded to vote Reform if I believed in the leaders or that they weren't a one policy party. As I said nobody I know gets involved. I've played football, pool, got mates from all walks from footie trips or social groups, worked with hundreds of different people too. Most of them despite a 1500 page thread from a few like minded on here couldn't actually give a flying fek about politics. It's almost never discussed and I'd be amazed if many of them could name more than a couple of members of the cabinet. It's why Brexit was a surprise to lots and also the last huge major Conservative landslide. This recent Labour win was predicted because the Tories were so hated, but even then a lot of seats were won without a huge number of voters or turnout.
@shmmeee was out telling people to ‘go outside’ earlier in the week, sad wanker has already posted 6000 times today.I'm going to go out into the real world and do social activities while you probably obsess over a poll or fill them out.
Yeah, I usually avoid politics entirely, unless they're close friends.Same for me. I've never talked about politics down the pub. It's just not one of those things that happens. I couldn't tell you if or who they vote for.
But if an opt in poll of a tiny percent of the population says so though....
People need to stop interacting with him, if nobody replies he’ll eventually go outside and get a taste of fresh air. Can’t think the super model is happy with you constantly being on here is she? @shmmeeeBut how do you know? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I've never even seen an advert so what papers is it in?

How much do people think male footballers should be paid, when the sport is more wildly popular than ever? Are ticket prices and rights deals also going to fall?
They should be paid according to supply and demand just like every other entertainment industry.How much do people think male footballers should be paid, when the sport is more wildly popular than ever? Are ticket prices and rights deals also going to fall?
I almost never talk about politics in a social situation. It's not the right setting. We're there to enjoy ourselves and talking about how shit everything is isn't conducive to that. Doesn't mean I don't care about politics. Or that they don't either. We don't talk about our earnings either, doesn't mean we don't care about how much we get paid.But how do you know?

Well yeah, supply is extremely limited and demand is through the roof. If 30,000 people are paying £30 to watch second division football every other week, who else should get the money….Doug?They should be paid according to supply and demand just like every other entertainment industry.

MPs too….supposedly the root of all this country’s ills (apart from immigrants ofc). But we also want to pay them less?

So footballers then
I'm going to go out into the real world and do social activities while you probably obsess over a poll or fill them out.
The most common nationalities coming to the UK in 2024 from non-EU countries were Indian, Pakistani, Chinese and Nigerian, external.
The top two reasons for wanting to live in the UK was for work or study, external.
In 2015, the year before the Brexit referendum, the top nationalities coming to work were Romanian, Polish, Italian and Spanish, external.
What were the overall nationalities in 2024?
4 replies within a few minutes, ‘go outside’
I’ve never known someone spend and post so much on a forum, it’s quite frankly embarrassing! Still if it attracts super models then @shmmeee must be doing something right the saddoTo be fair if I lived where he does I’d stay inside
Where did I say that?Haha you’re the one saying you’d run a mile if the phone rang and an old lady asked who you were voting for.
I think they are underpaid, but I’d also give them a flat salary of 150K and abolish expenses as well as banning 2nd jobs. Give them a flat in Westminster like some souped up student hall and get them doing what they should be doing - serving the people they represent not their own interests.76% of people think MP's are overpaid.

I'd be fine with that.I think they are underpaid, but I’d also give them a flat salary of 150K and abolish expenses as well as banning 2nd jobs.

Two thirds of the population are 'enabling fascism' he'll probably say.Given Shmmeees love for graphs and polls I’m surprised he hasn’t shared this
